When we walked in, the nice women in the front told us we can either order through her or on the ipad. We ordered through the ipad because we were still unsure of what to order, and once we were done. The women working said we could sit wherever we like since we were the only ones there. The food was out in a couple of minutes from drinks, appetizers, to entree. From the looks of it, presentation was very important and the food was presented neatly. The food in itself was flavorful, and comforting. I think not even mid-way through I truly knew that this was a well established family owned business because of how warming the service and food was. The vietnamese coffee that we got was so creamy like no other. It had a rich taste of vietnamese coffee beans but the creaminess of the coffee stole the spotlight for us. We absolutely loved it! The shrimp summer rolls were very fresh and did not have any bad quality to it. I will say I prefer when there's also pork strips in the summer rolls, but nothing to complain. The vermicelli noodles with lemongrass chicken and egg rolls was cooked to perfection. The eggs rolls were crunchy with a warm pork filled inside and the lemongras chicken was so flavorful and juicy, I melted. The pho broth was so comforting and had a very home like feel to it. I wish I could have gotten more food but my stomach was too full! Overall, I am very surprised that we were the only ones there. If you are looking for a nice and modern but also warming place to go to try vietnamese cuisine. I don't understand the bad reviews for this restaurant. As long as you're open minded, I will say this place is the place to go to in Fairfax area!

The thinly sliced chicken pho might appear less but it actually works better for moisture. This is not your grandma's chicken soup but just as amazing! The location has excellent parking in a foodies strip mall try the turkish bakery or crêpes for dessert). The restaurant could use the ample sidewalk for covered outdoor seating, Mediterranean style, to attract a great atmosphere.
